🔗 Share this article The Tynecastle side Move 8 Points Clear Ahead at the Summit After Shankland's Spot-Kick Sees Off Celtic We did not witness at Tynecastle, with it being far too early for such achievements. What this match did emphasise is that Heart of Midlothian are at least in with strong chance of disrupting Scottish football's long-standing dominance by two. That advantage stands at eight points for the maroon side over the visitors, whom they easily dispatched. Catch them if you can. Turning Point in the Latter Period A brief but pivotal phase proved decisive, after an opening period that was fiercely fought. The striking aspect after they took a 3-1 lead was how stress-free the closing stages of the game was for the hosts. Kyziridis scored Hearts’ second, drifting inside before thumping a right-footed shot past the static the goalkeeper. Delight increased in the stands, Murray upending the Hearts player for a foul that Shankland slotted home. Rodgers cut such a disconsolate figure; he hardly has his troubles to seek. The crowd erupted after Kyziridis (second right) scores to make it 2-1 against the opposition. Hoops' Reaction The away side responded positively from Hearts’ rapid start. Dane Murray, who struggled throughout, turned the ball into his own net due to confusion when trying to remove a delivery from Shankland. The Hoops worked their way into the game, the captain McGregor, scoring a Kieran Tierney pass for 1-1. Solid Backline The Hearts goalkeeper Schwolow, who had denied from Benjamin Nygren in the first half, parried an Engels shot which touched Magnússon. Craig Halkett blocked a Yamada attempt in added time. The hosts faced little else as the game concluded. “We shall not be moved” has become the favoured chant at the ground. It's hard to ignore the noise. Detailed coverage will be available.
